“I’ve got to protect my stuff,” Union told Arsenio Hall. “The biggest difference between this and the last marriage will be a prenup — at my insistence.”

Union and Wade were engaged just a few days before Christmas of 2013. They both announced the news via social media, including a (giant) ring photo by Union on Instagram. The actress was married to NFL star Chris Howard until 2005, and she may have learned some lessons from that marriage. But she also said, “The reality is, I’ve never seen Dwyane balance a checkbook.”

Even though Union and Wade have been engaged since December, they have been dating (off and on) for years. Besides making long-term financial decisions this time, she has decided to make some more personal decisions about her wedding as well.

“The last time, I just wrote checks,” she said. “I was working, I had a wedding planner, and I just showed up and was like, ‘Ooh, that’s nice. Who picked that out?'”
